"He didn’t make any noise, he didn’t scream or overcorrect, he was so calm, he was so great," Miranda told KFOR. "I`m thankful it hit the hood because it obviously slowed the velocity of the log down before it came through the window."

It's a nightmare many imagine driving behind a vehicle hauling a heavy load. Miranda said she knows it could have been worse.

"I try personally not to think about it or talk about it a lot, but I mean, if it had been an inch this way, or an inch that way, or a little higher, would the dashboard not have caught it and wedged it?" Miranda said.

Now, she's hoping those who hear their story will take heed next time they're hauling something, on a big rig or just a pickup truck, in the future.

"You just never know what could happen or how the wind could catch something," she said.
